Episode Details

Deckers Creek near Morgantown, West Virginia, is making a dramatic comeback after decades of pollution—once choked with toxic sludge, it’s now teeming with life thanks to a joint effort between the state’s DEP and Northeast Natural Energy. After 60 years of neglect, new tech from West Virginia University and crucial funding revived the Richard Mine Treatment Facility, pulling heavy metals from the water. Fish like bass and trout are returning, signaling a full ecological rebound—and even the waste is being repurposed into paint pigments. This isn’t just cleanup; it’s resurrection.
